I knew Jacke Rose casually as a longtime member of Saddleback Church, but after we both lost adult sons to suicide, she became a dear friend-a sister in sorrow and in hope. Our losses were fairly close together, so our journeys have often been parallel. This allows us to offer comfort during especially painful moments, to make each other laugh as some of the intensity has receded over the years, and to cheer each other on as we both seek opportunities to minister the hope that God can bring beauty from terrible ashes to other hurting parents. -Kay Warren, founder, Hope for Brighter Tomorrows We have walked with God and Jacke through the pain and the miraculous healing of this Landslide. We have seen God tangibly lift up Jacke and her family again and again, bringing beauty out of ashes, bringing healing out of unfathomable pain and loss and trauma. Jacke has remained steadfast in seeking Jesus, on behalf of herself and her family, to find the path out of the darkness and into God's Light. Into His waymaking, good shepherding. Into His protection and provision. Into His unceasing, unending, unconditional cherishing love. God is mightily using Jacke and her family's testimony and story to bring healing to every person He touches through them. Thank you, Jacke, for the bravery it takes to wake anew with Him each day. Thank you for your vulnerability and humility and the courage it took to write this book. God will mightily use your words, His words through you, to bless many with profound healing and a deeper, intimate relationship with Him. -With much love, Katie, Soul Sister As a pastor, I am often the one who receives the call no one ever wants to make-the call that a child has been lost. In those moments, words feel hollow, and even shepherds can feel paralyzed in the face of a grief so deep it defies explanation. The loss of a child is not a wound that simply heals with time; it is a pain that is carried for a lifetime. In the book Resurfacing, Jacke Rose writes from that sacred and painful ground-not as an observer but as a mother who has endured one of the most devastating losses I have ever encountered. Yet her story does not end in despair. Through honesty, faith, and perseverance, Jacke gently leads grieving mothers toward a hope that is real and hard won. Scripture reminds us, ""The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit"" (Psalm 34:18) and ""We do not grieve as those who have no hope"" (1 Thessalonians 4:13). I wholeheartedly encourage every grieving mother-whether your loss was this past year or thirty years ago-to read Jacke's memoir. This book will not erase the pain, but it will remind you that God has not abandoned you in it, and that hope, though costly, is still possible. In Him, -Pastor Chris, Vine & Branch Fellowship, Angels Camp, CA
